Synthetic Biology OF NATURAL PRODUCTS 
METABOLIC ENGINEERING 

​To produce substantial quantities of natural products and their analogs, we have developed a core strength in genetic and metabolic engineering to produce E. coli strains that can over produce desired natural products and their analogs. This work has produced strains capable of producing industrial relevant levels of sialic acid, as well as sialic acid analogs, such as N-acyl sialic acids, and pseudamininc acid.
